Saw a tongue-in-cheeky item on the news recently about live mannequins modeling what else?....lingerie. Where else? Turin.

With so much media buzz concentrated recently over Valentines Day and the Olympics I bet you would have never heard of anti-capitalism protests the day before opening ceremonies in Turin, blocking off streets and causing mild disruption.

Or with no reason other than to not imagine pristine villages gracing snow capped mountain tops, did you think athletes would be calling the Oly's this
year: "dirty"? Really seriously though did you? And were still not even talking corruption this time. LOL

But with millions of Euros spent for a formidable police presence from all quarters of the security establishment to lap up the lax...including policemen telemarking near ski events (how cool is that?), much is being done to make participants and spectators feel safe.

But, is it, this article blithely seeming to ask, at the cost of a festive atmosphere?

So I recently learned that a number of years ago a certain woman took two hankerchiefs, tied them togther with ribbons, sold them as clothing items..and in this typical Mother of necessity type need way:....lingerie was born! The rest as they say, is fashion history.

So out went the corset and in came the bra. Another development later in time would find men designing bra's pointed style. I mean us men folk we should know how we want you to look right?, eye-pleasing and all, forget about your own feelings about what enclosures are used to "cover your mammaries."

Alas, my source (go there) speculates that this is in actuality what began the bra burning revolution of the 1950's.

Anyway, I know this is tepid stuff. But all of this
I discovered as a result of coming across an item in the news that in the State of North Carolina, much of a hulaboo has erupted over a womans right to breastfeed in public.

I have since learned there may be at least 15 States with no protection for women to feed their young in public unmolested by the law.

A few years ago in Florida a columnist was harrased (arrested?) for feeding baby in public.

This time in N.C., a woman shopping at a Victorias Secret outlet in a mall was told she could not feed her baby via her mammary glands in the VS dressing change room. It was reported that she was told she would have to go to a restroom at restaurant nearby.

For their part, it has also been reported that VS
felt a misunderstanding had occured, and that it
was their suggestion that she might feel more comfortable feeding her child at aforementioned location.

Anyway, none of this type of trivial tripe over
who said what seems to be bothering legislators.

They would now like to enact a law to protect a
womans right to feed her child, joining the rest of the majority of States, in allowing her to feed her
young in public where ever and whenever she likes unmolested by the law.

You can read the full story here. Complete with remarks about references to Republican lawmakers and fascism.

In any case, it made me think about and value the laws we live under in Canada. Seems like in comparison to Europe and Canada, the US lags behind in this department.

It is. It's a great sounding name.
The name for the province of Saskatchewan comes from the Cree, who called the Saskatchewan River "Kisiskatchewani Sipi," meaning: 'swiftly flowing river'.

Matthew McConaughey is with trailer park trash.



Dont take my word it for it. Grab that latest
issue of Details Magazine
and read it for your self. Look what he said:

"What I really love about her is that she sees everything for the first time, every time. And shes one of the best listeners I've ever met. She's not a right or wronger." - Matthew MacConaughey on Penelope Cruz, Details Magazine, March 2006 Issue

Now what kind of image is that to project for a guy who calls his part-time home a trailer park?

- - - - -

This page shows what Details magazine suffered heat for on needlessly.

I wont stuff a canary into Details editors mouths over this as its not worth it, and they are a great magazine, but its easy to
see why a largesse of population would feel offended and feel disenchanted etc etc etc.

Because I will read Details from time to time doesnt mean I support all their opinions and views and articles or "support" all their advertisers

I seriously thought it stunk and reeked. And if
they ever did it again I would consider them
lower echeleon trailer trash. And pass them
right by in the super-market aisle.

A song like this is immortal. To say it gives a man
strength is a patent lie. But a good way to
say to the world: yeah you chewed me up and out and
this way and that but you know what..
I have more than just my pride..I have the truth.

And you cant
read the lyrics and not hear the music and
call your self a man all at the same time...its
like, statistically impossible. Well, I can
but you try. Try it.

You can find and listen to a full version of Tears for Fears - Woman in Chains here as well as a powerful rendition played sans vocals.

Phil Collins played drums on this track.

You better love loving and you better behave
You better love loving and you better behave
Woman in chains, woman in chains


Calls her man the great white hope
Says she's fine, she'll always cope, ooh
Woman in chains, woman in chains


Well, I feel lying and waiting is a poor man's deal (A poor man's deal)
And I feel hopelessly weighed down by your eyes of steel
(Your eyes of steel)
Well, It's a world gone crazy keeps woman in chains, woh woh woh
Woman in chains, woman in chains


Trades her soul as skin and bones
(You better love loving and you better behave)
Sells the only thing she owns
(You better love loving and you better behave) ooh ooh
Woman in chains (the sun and the moon), woman in chains


Men of stone, men of stone, hey baby, no no no, ooh
Well, I feel deep in your heart there are wounds time can't heal
(The time can't heal)
And I feel somebody somewhere is trying to breathe
Well, you know what I mean
It's a world gone crazy keeps woman in chains


It's under my skin but out of my hands
I'll tear it apart (somebody somewhere is trying)
But I won't understand (to breathe)
I will not accept the greatness of man
It's a world gone crazy keeps woman in chains
Gone crazy keeps woman in chains


So free her, so free her, so free her
So free her, so free her (the sun and the moon)
So free (the wind and the rain) her, so free her
So free her, so free her, so free her, so free her
So free her, so free her (the sun and the moon)
So free (the wind and the rain) her, so free her
